Golden Gate Park fatal stabbing victim identified

SAN FRANCISCO 
San Francisco police have identified the victim and suspect involved in a fatal stabbing in Golden Gate Park.

Police spokesperson Officer Albie Esparza on Tuesday says 25-year-old Adam Noyes, a transient from Vermont, was killed from a single stab wound during an apparent confrontation Sunday night near the Conservatory of Flowers.

Noyes grandfather says the victim came out to California about two months ago from Essex Junction, Vt., after previously visiting California a few years ago.

Police have arrested 65-year-old Richard Ray on suspicion of murder.

Police say Ray flagged down officers after the attack and said he stabbed Noyes in self-defense after Noyes went at him with a knife.
